In the summer of 2004, in the war-stricken city of Baghdad, Iraq, the most dangerous job in the United States Army is undertaken by members of the elite Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squads, who find and disarm bombs that have been set by insurgents. Sergeant Matt Thompson and Sergeant JT Sanborn of Bravo Company’s EOD unit use a bomb disposal robot to find suspected homemade bombs, called improvised explosive devices (IED), that can be detonated by remote control. Armed with a rifle, Specialist Owen Eldridge, the youngest member of the team, carefully observes the many onlookers who watch the team, knowing that any one of them might be an insurgent. Meanwhile, Thompson and Sanborn study the bomb from a distance and, after determining that they are unable to defuse it, attach the robot to a small wagon loaded with charge. As soldiers of other units move pedestrians away from the area, the EOD team remotely guides the robot toward the bomb to blow it up under controlled circumstanc

Plot Iraq. Present day. Staff Sergeant William James joins a bomb disposal team after the death of his predecessor. James defuses a large IED and makes safe a car bomb at the UN headquarters. With only 38 days left in their rotation, the two other team members, Sergeant JT Sandborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge, are wary of James’s unorthodox and reckless approach. James befriends an Iraqi boy nicknamed Beckham. Eldridge informs Army doctor Colonel John Cambridge that he suffers from intrusive thoughts about dying. Sandborn and Eldridge consider killing James in order to protect themselves from his errant risk-taking. Back at base, and after a fierce encounter with insurgents, the men drink whisky together and wrestle. The team is sent to make safe a bomb-making factory where they find Beckham has been killed and his body rigged with explosives. Leaving the factory, Cambridge is killed by an IED. Angry at Beckham’s death and appalled by the aftermath of an oil tanker bombing, James persuades Sandborn and Eldridge to hunt down the insurgents responsible. A haphazard encounter with the enemy results in Eldridge being injured by friendly fire. As he is evacuated he blames James for his injuries. James and Sandborn unsuccessfully attempt to save a man who has been forced to wear a suicide bomb vest. Their rotation over, James returns home to his wife and infant son but finds it hard to adjust and returns to Iraq.
